 Adequate for my purposes Aug 25, 2007
By Buddy
I use this box for keeping handy "minor" items like my file drawer key, etc. I wouldn't characterize it as a very "safe" box for valuables, but for my purposes of keeping out inquisitive kids and nosey babysitters it's fine. The knob is made of plastic, the locking tab is a pretty thin piece of metal. I read another reviewer's difficulty programming the electronic lock -- that may be because the printed pamphlet instructions were incorrect it seemed. It directed the user to input the code then wait a few seconds, when in fact the proper directions (printed on a sticker on the underside of the lid) indicated you input the code twice in a row.

 Very low security Jun 16, 2008
By Samuel Cooler
A few notes:
The batteries that come with it don't last at all. Right now I am just using the key backup primarily. I am not going to put 4 more AAs into it just for the keypad.
Secondly, THIS SAFE IS VERY INSECURE. I am in no way a professional lockpicker, but I was able to pick the backup key slot once when I lost my key. It took me about 2 minutes and I was in. The keypad did nothing, and neither did that wimpy piece of plastic over the keyslot. This uses a typical wafer-lock, the type found on filing cabinets. Anyone with two paperclips (like the ones I used) and a half-hour of internet study can open this safe. I REPEAT: THIS SAFE IS INSECURE.
It's also pretty flimsy and I wouldn't trust it against anyone with a crowbar and 30 seconds, either.

 Very Pleased Aug 03, 2007
By J. Hudson
I just got this security box, but so far I am very pleased with it. It appears to be well made and I do not have any problems with the digital lock. I think the problem the previous reviewer had was the key is an "overide". You have to turn the key to the lock position and then the digital lock will function. If the key is in the unlock position, it overides the digital lock and it won't lock. They even give you a black plastic cap to cover up the key hole, because once you lock the box with the key, you shouldn't have to use it again, except in the case of an emergency

NOT A SAFE-BEWARE Sep 05, 2009
By John
"JonJon"
I bought this to keep prescription medications in and thought it was perfect. Had problems with the code setting even doing it the way the sticker says, but finally got it. This week I has a 3 bottles of medications come up missing (I know who took them) and couldn't figure out how. I am very diligent about keeping it locked at all times. Finally figured out that the key lock opens with GM car keys. The lock still works with the regular key also. I don't know if it was always like that or was jammed somehow but I am very disappointed as you can imagine. So please beware if you plan to keep valuables in this. Get a real safe!!

Be Advised Jun 23, 2009
By Robert Gremillion
I had bought this to keep my medicines from disappearing. I didn't want a key laying around. 6 weeks after I bought it, the combination stopped working. It took me about 15 seconds to pop it open with a carpet chisel. I tried to reset the combination after i9t was open, and it wouldn't reset. The company was no help. I suggest a sentry and a General Electric Combination locking key box.
